In addition, informative sessions on cyber safety and water conservation were conducted, educating participants about safe online practices and the importance of preserving water resources, thereby further raising awareness within the community.
Cultural and creative initiatives, including a nukkad natak titled “Screen & Sanskar,” which highlighted the erosion of traditional values among youth in the digital age, and a “Best out of Waste” workshop, significantly engaged participants, nurtured creativity, and effectively communicated socially relevant messages, thereby amplifying the overall impact of the camp. A tie-and-dye workshop conducted by Dr. Beenu Kapoor fostered creativity and skill development among village students.
